Rob and I are very pleased with how Sqig went in his EasyCare hoof boots in this challenging 80 km ride. The ride is in a dry and rocky part of NSW in Australia with a lot of the course resembling a dry creek bed with large rocks everywhere. I have been riding in Easyboot Gloves and was particularly impressed at the earlier ride, Kiwarrak where we came 1st Lightweight and BC but since we didn't have dome pads for the Gloves I went back to the good ole favorites for endurance - Epics and Bares, that is before the Gloves and Edges. I've got Edges on order so hopefully I'll be one of the lucky first ones in Australia, the first shipment is about to arrive. Sqig has now completed 2080 km, barefoot and booted in his endurance career over 3+ years.
It was a beautiful day for riding at Tooraweenah with a light cool breeze and clear conditions. Now if only I can talk the photographer into heading into the more scenic part of the course.

Hey Garrett
I have an update - Sqig came first over the line at the most recent endurance ride, Bendemeer. This is my first 'win', I'm not supposed to say that as I'm a featherweight but Sqig looks like a winner to me. BC as well.
